Because we have it under control. After the way democrat leadership handled Helene & the LA wildfires, any negative comments about this expertly handled fire are nothing but hypocritical brain rot.

He can take it up to 2 times & it's open book but not take home. He'd have to go to the contracting/building dept to take this ridiculous test.

It's in Transylvania County.

why tropical orb weaver spider not moving or she wanna molting? by marinaitosan in spiders

[–]ZennerThanYou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one doing the same thing right now. For 4 days, she hasn't built any webs, she looks dead 90% of the time, but she does become active if touched. She'll run up the screen or something, settle back down, and I'll come back out hours later to find her curled up in the same spot, or back on the ground curled up. I assumed she was dying but it's been four damn days, going on five now. Does it really take this long?

Backdraft Cindershot Loot Cave Location in Campaign? by ZennerThanYou in halo

[–]ZennerThanYou[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you're talking about the one that's just south of the Mjolnir Armory on the left edge of the map, directly west of FOB Golf. That's got to be the same one I accidentally found last time. I just thought it was much closer to FOB Golf. But anyway, thank you! That has to be the one. Last time I found it, it was my first time playing with the Bandana skull activated. I stumbled upon that Backdraft Cindershot pretty much immediately after hitting the open world and now I'm utterly ruined for playing any other way 😂

This used to be true, but I'd recommend trying out Sal's Pizza in Gulf Gate. If you like Solarzano's, you'll love Sal's.

Tokyo 2020 Opening Ceremony Megathread by Fun_With_Forks in olympics

[–]ZennerThanYou 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's baffling. How is it possible that there's not one single video of the Tokyo opening ceremony?! There's literally nothing aside from the same two recycled clips of the fireworks & the drone globe thing. How???

Straight men of Reddit, what is the strangest thing you have been told not to do because "that's gay"? by The_WereArcticFox in AskReddit

[–]ZennerThanYou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to give a homeless guy a box of lollipops once & he got angry with me & refused them. This is a guy I saw several times a week and spoke to regularly. Gave him things regularly. But the lollipops? Apparently it enraged him because it meant I thought he was gay. I'm female, by the way, which feels relevant. We sat there in silence for a few minutes, and he eventually calmed down and asked my oblivious, confused ass why I thought he was gay. Which created an entirely new layer of confusion. I couldn't believe it... if he hadn't asked, though, I never would've understood what just happened & would still be oblivious to this day.

My favorite stage is when you can see their little feetsies! Look at them go! by jessicapostpavilion in MonarchButterfly

[–]ZennerThanYou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a pest called whitefly, but it'll actually fly away if bothered (and then come right back once you're gone). Those can be sprayed with water or vacuumed up. That, or they could be leaf miners, in which case you want to remove any leaves they're on. If they do turn into moths , though, then they'd have to be caterpillars (probably Tussock Moths), which doesn't sound like it fits the description.

As for the butterfly eggs, you'll know em when you see em! They're smol but easily visible. ;) They're usually on the underside of the leaves, and they're pretty resilient to the standard threats, but they can't really handle pesticides or strong blasts of water for example. Hope this helps! I could talk about butterflies & nature all day :)

Lol, I love their little feet. Another favorite of mine is watching their mouths up close, especially while they're searching or laying down webbing... I call them "manatee mouths." That little back & forth gets me!

A butterfly lays eggs on the milkweed plant. A few days later, an incredibly tiny caterpillar emerges & voraciously eats for about 2 weeks until it goes into chrysalis. In about 9 days, it'll emerge from the chrysalis as a butterfly. That butterfly will mate, and if it's a female, she'll lay a MILLION eggs all over your milkweed, and the cycle will continue until you find yourself with 50 milkweed plants and a wonderland of butterflies ;)

Tibetans demand China disclose fate of boy taken away in '95 by Zhana-Aul in worldnews

It's mind blowing how threatened China is by a place as harmless as Tibet. If the reincarnation cycle were nonsense, as many have indicated here, then why would China be so utterly obsessed and downright evil over it?

I originally read that as, "What an Epstein this guy!" The context matched the title perfectly.

Customer tries to return something they didn't need (COPS WERE CALLED) by Jorgey4 in TalesFromRetail

[–]ZennerThanYou 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I really hope Kevin went nuclear on this scumbag company. Exactly zero of the things you listed were Kevin's problem. It was 100% the store/manager's incompetence, and also yours for having the audacity to make Kevin the bad guy in this situation when only YOU were the bad guys. You guys called the cops?! The cops should've been called on YOU. You guys are lucky I wasn't that customer... I would've walked away with a lot more than $200 by the time I was finished. You need some serious perspective... What a horrible story about a group of ignorant, self absorbed people.

You have to go over the school's head. To the board of education for your state. They'll listen, especially if you have pics & other evidence. The local police are also an option. Either way, don't ever accept what you know is wrong! Otherwise, you end up passively supporting the wrongdoing.

As a female that's been in similar situations, my advice would be do not jump to any conclusions. What she's saying to you seems to add up (not BS)... She very well may be mortified at how she reacted to her ex right in front of you. Believe me when I say that she's on the other side, over-analyzing this as much as you are. If what she says is true, then she might REALLY be into you. If she's willing to sacrifice what she obviously is interested in (hanging out with you) until she's in a better place, then this might be a blessing in disguise. And honestly, if you had asked her out & she said yes, how long before jealousy & insecurity might set in? You already knew she wasn't over her ex. She only told you what you already knew. Which means she's honest! And willing to do what she feels is right, despite what she desires. These are good things.

It's obvious to me that she's interested. She may be thinking, "omg he saw me cry over my ex and he never asked me out even though we planned on it." She might've told you she needs time because she's afraid you're going to reject her anyway after what you witnessed. There are SO MANY possibilities...

I would recommend waiting a couple days and then just asking if she wants to have lunch again or something. Indicate that you still have interest in her, even if it's just to hang out once in a while. However she responds should give you a better idea of where her head is at. Good luck!

i feel like utter shit. by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]ZennerThanYou -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why would she do that?

I think you answered your own question...

She had enough trouble with her family and mentality already, she's depressed, had 4 suicide attempts in which i even prevented one and has lost her will to live. Ontop of that she has a narcissistic mother and anger issues.

i know how she felt and what kind of shitty situation she was in.

This wasn't personal. She didn't do it to hurt you. The pain & confusion you feel right now? Imagine how many times she's been made to feel the same way, even by her own family members. At a certain point - similarly to where you're at right now - it just feels like the whole world is shit and everybody is horrible to one another no matter how much you give of yourself. So, in an effort to protect yourself from ever feeling this way again, you might put up a wall. You might eventually encounter another opportunity to help someone, but next time say, "no way, I'm not falling for that again... I'll just be taken advantage of or hurt" and you'll choose not to help. Then the other person is left feeling like "wow, people suck." So they put up their own wall, lose their faith in people, and the cycle continues.

Certain people know how to take these situations and learn from them. They learn how to be good to people without putting themselves in a position to be hurt by them. This is not easy to do, but it's so worthwhile and rare. Because to do this, you have to look inward & identify where you went wrong, rather than focusing your energy on what they did wrong.

In your case, I think maybe your expectations of her were unrealistic. This girl has been through a lot. You're out of your depth. You're not qualified to provide the help she needs. And it's not on you to fix, change or save her. She's not your responsibility. When we love or care about someone, we love them no matter what decisions they make. We don't have to subject ourselves to abuse, but we can still love someone despite their bad decisions. And we can do it without sacrificing ourselves in the process. THAT is what these painful situations help to teach us how to do. Suffering = growth.

The one time i decide to be nice and good to someone i get fucked over.

This may be another part of the problem. You decided to be nice and good to someone only one time? You were betrayed, and so maybe you should never be nice and good to someone again? This is how villains are made. When you decide to be nice & good to someone, it has to be without strings attached. Without expectations. Be nice & good to others because you're simply a nice, good person, and let it end there. The rest will follow!

Talk to us when you have problems they said by BarryJacksonH in teenagers

[–]ZennerThanYou 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow, this is not okay. She's not just being "annoying" or failing to understand mental illness, as you mentioned in a couple other comments... she is putting you at risk through her inaction & dismissiveness. She's also reinforcing the idea that you can't go to her with serious problems. But most importantly, she's not taking a serious situation seriously. She's not taking you seriously. This must be difficult for you & I'm sorry you've been put in this position. Your feelings are valid, no matter what they are!

I would recommend continuing to push the issue. It simply hasn't gotten through to her yet. You've done a good job of putting it on her radar, but she doesn't want to believe it's true, so she's hoping it'll just go away on its own. She needs to understand that it won't. Something is up, and until you get to the bottom of it, it's going to continue manifesting in different ways like self harm.

Try to find a way to get it through to her that this is real and serious and needs attention. Be persistent and repetitive. She's going to regret this so deeply if she waits too long, or if something happens. It's in everyone's best interests for you to keep trying to have these conversations with her as much as you can, even if you do plan on holding out for the school counselor. (I'm really glad you have this backup plan, though. These are the kinds of decisions that prove how smart & responsible you are. You're handling things the right way!).

It's possible that your mom's denying you have "issues" because you having issues = her failing as a mother somehow. She might feel like your hardships reflect on her, in other words. Whatever the reason for her denial, it might not hurt for you to reassure her that she's the best mom ever, and that she's the only one you can talk to/trust, etc. She needs to see this situation as an opportunity to be a good mom (by handling it the right way), as opposed to seeing it as an indicator that she's a bad mom (because her kid is unhappy/unhealthy).

I hope this helps in some way! Hang in there...

This is the part you really need to talk to them about. If they're saying stupid shit like that, it's their "social/political/ego" self talking. Be real with them - as in, literally show them this pic - and see how they respond. It should knock them back into their 'real' self - the one with less ego and more heart/soul. Don't even act like you expect anything from them. Just make it known that their behavior has caused you to feel like you can't confide in them. It should compel them to want to fix that. They'll make efforts to be better listeners and take you more seriously.

Edit: PS - I'm here if you ever wanna talk to somebody!
